6 Problems Of An Out Of State Student

1. Seeing double

Seeing someone at college who looks EXACTLY LIKE someone from your high school and having to make sure it isn't them even though you know that person from high school does not go to your college.

2. "Students need to be out of the dorms by 10 a.m. on Saturday and are not allowed back into the dorms until 1 pm the following Sunday"

Sometimes your school "forgets" that some of their students do not live a short 45 minute drive away from campus.

3. The weather

Even if your school is in the same region was your home state, the weather will still catch you off guard everyday. For example, sometimes it decides to get colder as the day goes on, going from a nice 50 degrees to a crisp 30 degrees.

4. "Wow you said that word funny... Say it again!"

Sometimes how you pronounce words is a little different from how people at your college pronounce them. Even if it is the smallest bit different someone will be SURE to point it out and make it known, sometimes in front of your entire lab class.

5. Hometowns

Since no one at your school knows where your town back home is, you just state the name of the closet major city.

6. Obsession with your home state

Whether its the necklace you have in the shape of your state or meeting someone from home and getting really excited because you found someone who appreciates your state as much as you do, the love for your home state seems to grow the longer you are away from home.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
